codex-profiles

authentic

Use codex-profiles to run Codex CLI or Codex Desktop with isolated CODEX_HOME profiles for separate accounts, projects, and local state.

When to use

Use when the user wants to keep multiple Codex accounts or project contexts separate on one machine.
Use when a workflow needs a different `CODEX_HOME` without manually exporting environment variables.
Use when diagnosing which Codex profile is active or whether profiles are logged in.
Use when the user asks about Codex account switching without copying `auth.json`.
Use when launching Codex Desktop from a profile, only after confirming the user accepts app/process disruption.

`codex-profiles` is community-maintained and is not an official OpenAI tool.
It isolates Codex state through separate `CODEX_HOME` directories; it does not isolate the operating-system user, shell history, SSH keys, browser cookies, GitHub CLI auth, or unrelated application state.
Desktop profile launch behavior is macOS-focused and can change with Codex Desktop releases.
Existing Codex sessions may still contain project context from before a profile strategy was adopted.
The tool does not replace backups for important Codex state.
